Christmas is quickly approaching! I don’t know about you, but I only have two weeks left until Christmas break. TWO. Those two weeks are full of projects, tests, presentations, stress… and final. The end of a semester can get pretty crazy, and last minute Christmas shopping on top of finals only adds to the crazy. While at college you’re always meeting new people and making new friends. Even if you haven’t known your new friends for very long and thus… Read more »

Disney’s Frozen, AKA best movie ever, came out two years ago today!! WHOA!! I can’t believe how quickly time has passed. It seems like just a month ago I was that senior in high school who was more excited about the new Disney princesses than she was about graduation. No really… That was me… I was (and still am) a complete Frozen fan girl. But when I was a junior and senior in high school, I loved to peruse Pinterest in search for the… Read more »

And it’s Thanksgiving again. The time for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, turkey shaped cookie, football, food and pre-black Friday sales. Oh, and it’s a day of giving thanks. We mustn’t forget about that. As Christians, we’re called to make thanksgiving a way of life. Thanks is something we should give everyday of the year. I’ve learned a lot about thanksgiving this year, such as how we can give thanks in the hard times, why we should give thanks, and even how… Read more »

So today I’m trying out something new… A VLOG!!! I have never vlogged before, but it was a lot of fun! (Despite the video spazzing… and then YouTube spazzing…. and me having absolutely ZERO clue about how to edit a video on my phone…..) This vlog is a part of The Golden Vlog series that Faith of Life w/ Mrs. G and the Artist started a while back. I first found out about The Golden Vlog at the end of… Read more »

^My life right now. For reals. I know I said at the beginning of this month that I want to be better at blogging consistently. Ha! That was back before I looked at all my syllabuses (Syllabi? What is the plural of syllabus???) for all my classes and realized I have a million and one things to do this month. Well, maybe not quite that many, but I do have several projects/papers in each of my classes due the week… Read more »

The first graders to whom I’m teaching Spanish finished learning the Spanish alphabet this past Friday!! Whoo hoo! I’m so proud of them. A while back Anna of She Is Joyful wrote a post entitled “The ABCs of Me.” I thought it was such a cute idea. So today, in honor of my awesome first graders, I’m sharing the ABCs of Kara. Here we go… A- Age: 19 B- Best Day Ever: There have been plenty off awesome and memorible days after this, but… Read more »

So, Halloween was lots of fun :) I dressed up in the ceiling fan costume I made last year, and then spent the day helping one of my besties, Bre, make her Halloween costume. She decided to be a scarecrow, and I had a blast stuffing her with straw. While we were at the dollar store buying costume supplies, I stumbled across some foam swords. And got really excited. Because foam swords are awesome. So I bought 3 swords so Bre and… Read more »

A few weeks ago I posted about Operation Christmas Child and challenged us to pack one more shoe box this year than we did last year. My fellow college students, this challenge is for us too. I know how easy it is to pull the “But I’m a poor college student!!” excuse, or the “But I’m so busy!” excuse. Don’t. No excuses. These children have nothing. Zip. Nada. This may be their first present ever. Their first time hearing about Jesus. So that… Read more »
